Well.. wasn't it more like a charismatic nut job (Lusenko?) managed to become influencial enough with people who's back ground and professions (A General is really good at fighting/winning wars. Not so good at building a kitchen... or assaying the thruth about biology) hence said charismatic nut job lead people down a path of estruction.
